A strategy article on how early-stage startups should build a marketing plan that actually gets executed — by focusing on 1-2 channels, prioritizing with frameworks like ICE and Bullseye, and measuring revenue metrics instead of vanity numbers.

It reflects the thinking behind my Growth Marketing Plan service: audit, ICP, channel strategy, and a 90-day action plan built to ship.

Written with my hybrid process: AI-assisted research, refined with senior strategic judgment.

I was able to test @Rive Shaders GPU Layer through the new MCP using Claude / Fable. Definitely a timely save to achieve this flag simulator. Hover 25 controls, my favorites: -waveSpeed -windDirection -fabricStiffness -foldDepth -focusDistance -cameraDistance ...

Bold, editorial typography that leans into the streetwear aesthetic while keeping navigation frictionless. Fully responsive and ready for Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom builds.

Strong streetwear energy, the split-hero does a lot of work here. On a featured grid like this with discount badges I'd reserve the image aspect ratio so it doesn't shift on load, keeps mobile CLS clean. Are you handing this to a dev or doing the Shopify build yourself?

Just shipped Veil — a landing page for an AI identity protection startup.

The brief: no photos, no tech-stock aesthetic. The page itself had to feel like the threat it was describing.

Built it as a four-act manifesto. Custom brand foundation, editorial typography, motion that signals when the emotional register changes.

Making the page 'feel like the threat it was describing' is exactly the kind of brief that separates interesting brand work from generic SaaS decks. The editorial typography and motion doing emotional work rather than visual decoration is a smart choice here.
